Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Utah and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Utah and it has been less than three years since your discharge Utah State University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Veteran Tuition And Fees	$7,860
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$7,860
Total In Your Pocket	-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant With No Limitations

Utah State University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program and does not place limitations on the awards it grants. You must still apply for and be accepted so contact the college. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award that should result in no out of pocket costs related to tuition and fees.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Utah State University awarded a total of $10,028 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 9 veterans for an average award of $1,114 ($2,229 after government matching).

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $251, Utah State University falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$251 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$809 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Utah State University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Utah State University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $1,388. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses	$12,252
Post-9/11 Benefit	$10,864
Total Out Of Pocket	$1,388

A MHA of $1,358 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Your book stipend of $1000 more than covers what Utah State University estimates your expenses to be ($820).

Supplies Expenses	$820
Post-9/11 Benefit	$1,000
Total In Your Pocket	$180
